    Hey guys, post some pictures. I can only fit 3, but that's with my tool box mounted & in an 8' bed. I need an extended cab with the kids, I know, if I'm gonna take off the tool box. I have an old 2-horse horse trailer cut down we use also, but most of the time it isn't a good idea to take it in the mud, streams, or tight mountain roads. I need some ideas. Ultimately I wish for an extended cab with a flatbed, but I'll continue to wish in one hand and chit in the other and we'll see which one fills up first, lol!

    83' 200x (son's). 85' 200 auto-x & 85' 125m (daughters). 84' Tecate(?). 85' KXT Tecate (mine!, mine!, mine!.)+ some others but don't feel like typing them in.

    Don't forget to check the tire weight capacity..you are talking about 1200-1400lbs in trikes plus 400-500 in trailer. Could be pushing 1700-1800lbs gross weight. If you tires are max weight 900lbs each you are taking a mega risk on at highway speed...

    You shouldn't run more than 75% of max weight capacity of your tires. Especially in the summer heat!!!

    Exploding tires take the fun out of your weekend getaway!!!

    Go vertical!!! Do it all the time, we can fit 2 trikes/4 quads in a 6x8 space, just stack them vertically.

    Don't forget to plug the oil breather holes!!! My Tecate leaked out all of its oil when we stacked it vertically.

    Totally off key, but this is how I use to take my sons 70 around. Lol. My son is the one wearing the blue ball cap. He wears a real helmet, my nephew didn't ride it with the bicycle helmet.
